NORMAN, Okla. –Aubree Jones and Hannah Levi led a barrage of red on the scorecards for the Mississippi State women's golf team in Saturday's second round of the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman, Oklahoma.

Levi fired five birdies en route to a 4-under 67 that tied for the eighth-lowest in school history and advanced her 16 places on the leaderboard. Jones, who ranks second in the tournament shooting 6-under on par 4s, put up four birdies Saturday to follow an opening-round 69 with a 1-under 70.

The duo head to Sunday's final round tied for 16^th with 3-under 139 totals.

"I was very confident over the ball and worked hard on staying in the moment. I'm excited about where this team is going," Levi said.

The rest of the Bulldogs joined Levi and Jones in the birdie barrage, ending the day with 21 as a team. The solid showing put State in a tie for 10^th place after carding a 1-under 283. MSU's round matched the 2015 squad's opening-round total at this same Schooner Fall Classic for the seventh-lowest round in school history.

"I'm super proud of how we came out and put together an under-par round today," head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "We absolutely played with more confidence and determination. We need to get away from the big numbers, and we will be where we want. We will keep building on these lessons, but we competed out there today and intend to do better tomorrow."

Playing as an individual, Blair Stockett put together a 1-under 70 to conclude the opening two rounds tied for 25^th with a 1-under 141 total.

Freshman, Lauren Miller follows in a tie for 53^rd after carding a 76 on Saturday. Miller sits at 5-over 147 entering Sunday's final 18 holes.

After struggling in Friday's first round, Clara Moyano dropped in five birdies to shave nine strokes off her opening 18 holes and finish the day with a 1-under 70. She sits in a tie for 63^rd at 149.

Ela Grimwood finished in a tie for 76^th after shooting a 77 on Saturday.

Alabama's Jiwon Jeon leads the individual leaderboard, while her squad tops the team standings with a 534.

MSU opens final-round play on the 10^th hole beginning at 10 a.m. CT. Fans can follow live stats at GolfStat.com.
